Earlier this year, user-controlled Web radio service Jelli teamed up with CBS Radio's Modern Rocker KITS (Live 105)/San Francisco, allowing listeners to power two hours of Sunday night programming. Now Jelli is expanding, with a syndication deal with Triton as well as with Australian broadcaster Austereo.

Jelli will be available to Triton's 4,500+ radio affiliates in the U.S., starting early next year. Triton Radio Networks, through Dial-Global, will syndicate two daily Jelli programs - Top 40 Jelli and Rock Jelli - while Triton Digital will
offer affiliates customized, 24/7 online Jelli experiences.

"With new media tools and services, Triton is elevating the direct relationships radio enjoys with its listeners, and Jelli is a fun way to infuse even greater excitement, and a dose of unpredictability, to live FM, HD and streaming radio formats,'' said Jim Kerr, VP of strategy for Triton Digital Media. "Jelli combines the engagement, challenge and teamwork of a video game; the personalization and sharing of music we see in social networks; and a traditional broadcast that brings the experience to the masses.''

Next month, Jelli will launch on Austereo's stations down under, with a hits-oriented Hot 30 Jelli show on stations in
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Hot 30 Jelli will be broadcast daily on FM and digital radio (DAB+), and available online 24-hours a day.

"This is the future of radio - listeners in direct, active control of their radio station!," says Jaime Chaux, Austereo Digital Radio Content Director. "Austereo is proud to be leading the worldwide charge with Jelli."

The Jelli service is described as "community-powered, 100% user-controlled radio" and lets its users choose in real time what is played on the air. The service allows real time voting and other interactive features to rate songs, with each song determined by users just before it airs. The Jelli community can even vote to pull a song off the air instantly. More information can be found at www.jelli.net.
